It must be national corn bunting week, not only has Rob already posted one on here today, speaking to other members on the phone during the day, they have also been photographing the species.

I actually went out for hares in deteriorating weather, but after kestrels and red-legged partridges, this little guy was quite obliging, even if a stiff breeze did mean that a very fast shutter speed was needed.

Oh, and we did see one hare as well.

Nikon D200, 600mm Nikkor, beanbag, 1/1500th, f5.6, 320 asa

A fine shot and a good clear view of the bird in his habitat.

It's a bonus to have the bird singing, but it's a great image anyway.

Lovely - nicely framed by the hawthorne leaves.
